What type of hallucination involves perceived sounds?

Auditory Hallucination
Visual Hallucination
Olfactory Hallucination
Tactile Hallucination

The correct answer is: Auditory Hallucination

Auditory hallucinations are characterized by the experience of hearing sounds or voices that are not actually present. This type of hallucination can include hearing music, spoken words, or other noises, and is often associated with various psychological disorders, including schizophrenia, severe depression, or substance use disorders. This distinction is important because it highlights the specific sensory modality involved. Unlike visual hallucinations, which include seeing things that are not there, auditory hallucinations pertain specifically to sound. Olfactory hallucinations pertain to smells that do not exist, and tactile hallucinations involve the sensation of touch, such as feeling insects crawling on the skin. Understanding these classifications is crucial for accurate assessment and intervention in clinical practice.
